2019-2023 Toyota RAV4 (5th gen)
The fifth-generation RAV4 is the used-market equivalent of a blue-chip stock: it barely depreciates and almost never sits unsold.
Read the product overview
Demand from buyers who want a reliable, all-weather crossover keeps the average listing price stubbornly high relative to its original MSRP, which means timing matters more here than with almost any other car on this list. Prices typically soften slightly in late autumn and early winter when SUV demand cools, then firm up again as spring buying season and tax-refund money arrive, so a December or January purchase usually beats an April one by a meaningful margin. Hunt for the 2021-2023 model years if you want the updated infotainment, and accept that low-mileage examples carry a real premium because everyone else wants one too.

How we assess prices
We use in-stock offers checked within 72 hours. Scores compare the current offer with that retailer’s observations from the last 90 days, requiring at least 14 observed days and a price from about 30 days ago. Suspect records withhold the score. Retailer conditions and prices can change.
